This is so great!!!
I didn’t know Laura Jane Grace made music outside of Against Me (because I don’t follow them very closely these days) and I’m super thrilled to learn otherwise!
Thank you for sharing! I asked an AskMe question about catchy queer music like two years ago and I got so many amazing answers and I haven’t even listened to all the suggestions from it, so it’ll be like five years before I get through these lists. But I’m so happy to have them all the same!

Cool stuff! A couple of my favorite young queer artists released albums over the past couple weeks. I was just thinking yesterday about whether I wanted to make a FPP on the subject.
Lor Choc is one of the my favorite young Baltimore artists. She's from the same West Baltimore projects as Freddie Gray and has been lighting it up in a charismatic sing-rap style for a couple years now. Most of her old music is about typical street subjects, but her album that dropped last week is mostly earnest tracks about how much she loves her girlfriend and it's really the best.
FH Snoop is a queer sing-rapper from Philly. Their video for "Roll Wit Me" is really delightful. It has a great roller rink dance sequence that never fails to put a smile on my face. Their new album Rhythm & Vibes is a little moodier but lots of fun.

Kim Petras! I really enjoyed this article in the Sydney Star Observer about her work.
PC music is absolutely huge in my circles. A friend really rocked my world the other day by saying that Charli XCX apparently isn't one of the world's biggest pop stars, it's just that the Sydney queer scene we all know is heavily into PC music. Still not sure I believe her.

Awesome, thank you for sharing!!
I think the February link is broken, at least for me? So I went looking and found it.

Thank you! This is super great because I have heard of like none of them, except Laura Jane Grace (also excuse me Against Me! is not hard rock, they are punk, there is an important distinction and that is that I like Against Me! so they can't be hard rock QED).
yueliang, I very much agree about Chris though! Christine and the Queens is awesome.

Those are really good songs! I haven't hit a song I dislike yet.
Also, I'm happy to see Vök on there, if only because it reminds me to check out their new album, which I had forgotten about.

If you're into jazz cabaret, you may enjoy Mama Alto, a Melbourne-based queer non-binary transfeminine woman of colour whose shows (and songs) mash up jazz classics with pointed commentary on racism, homophobia, and transphobia. She's also a Mother Hen-type figure to many of us queer/trans/POC artists here in Melbourne - it's fun to see audiences in her show be half Fancy Rich (White) People and half Artsy Broke Queers.
